Most metals are not magnetic but iron is why?

Physics
1 answer:
harina [27]3 years ago
5 0

 This is because of the way that the electrons in an atom of iron behave. The electrons in an iron atom tend to have the ability to align themselves and face one toward one direction such that one side of the atom has high negative charge and the other side has a high positive charge. So then that atom will behave like a tiny magnet.

 Now when many of these "tiny magnets"  line up, their combined attraction creates the force known as magnetism.

Most other elements do not have this unique property that iron has and that is why they are not magnetic.

damaskus [11]

Answer

Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram is an essential tool used in stellar evolution. In the universe, there are several hundreds of billions of stars. Scientists use the tool, in differentiation, the billions of stars in the world from the sun. In the HR tool, there is plotting of the luminosity or energy output of a star, which is plotted on the X-axis of a graph against the absolute magnitude. The sun's magnitude is an absolute of +48, which, when plotted against its luminosity, helps in setting an apparent variance between the sun and any other star. Additionally, the sun has been identified as the primary star with a very high temperature. Hence the tool can locate the sun from other forms of stars. HR diagrams outline data such as temperature and luminosity or energy. However, star distance from the Erath is not a type of data represented in the charts.

What describes how fast an object is moving and in what direction
Mashcka [7]

Speed is a description of how fast an object moves; velocity is how fast and in what direction it moves. In physics, velocity is speed in a given direction. When we say a car travels at 60 km/h, we are specifying its speed.
